Ed, This must be the quietest transfer window I can ever remember. Is there a specific reason for it do you think, or is it that clubs haven't got the money to splash the cash. Has FFP got anything to do with it.
{Ed002's Note - FFP Has no more impact on this window than on others. Certainly a few things are in the pipeline for today but January is tough due to the difficulty in obtaining replacements.}
1.) 01 Feb 2024 12:28:59
The PL have shown they’re taking things more seriously now - see Everton - so I’d suggest clubs are taking things a tad more seriously.
2.) 01 Feb 2024 12:30:09
Any loan outgoings expected today Ed002? Also thanks for sticking round on the site all these years. 10 years ago I thought you would have been sick of us Liverpool fans by now!
{Ed002's Note - Billy Koumetio and Bobby Clark perhaps.}
3.) 01 Feb 2024 15:21:47
Cheers Ed002.
4.) 02 Feb 2024 19:31:12
Young players coming through has saved us having to do anything, which is great. Bradley and Quansah are priceless. And not forgetting the performances of Gomes at left back.
08 Feb 2023 15:49:47
Looks like the Quatari's have dropped Liverpool interest, and going for Utd instead. So financially we are miles behind City, Newcastle, Chelsea and Utd. They will be able to buy which players they want, and it looks like we will get into a fight with Arsenal and Spurs for what's left.
{Ed025's Note - well maybe not city elliot..
1.) 08 Feb 2023 15:58:04
Arsenal will be alright for a while i think, we’ve given them a blueprint of exactly what not to do when you get to the top of the league.
2.) 08 Feb 2023 16:24:34
Better dead than smeg.
3.) 08 Feb 2023 16:59:39
Arsenal and Spurs? I don’t think we’ll even compete with them. It’ll be back to the 80’s fighting with Everton for players. With both of us at the wrong end of the table.
4.) 08 Feb 2023 17:35:08
1. nothing has happened even remotely officially.
2. They’ve been buying every player they want for over a decade. So no change there.
5.) 08 Feb 2023 17:43:51
Fsg want a minority sale! They want to keep fsg it’s a cash cow for them!
I’d not want to sell myself!
I’d love oil rich owners but I’ll keep fsg as long as they dip into their pockets and invest in the squad! But then again klopp says he’s happy with it so maybe it’s his fault I dunno!
Or else no investment and it’s like the 90’s again and we fall decades behind?
6.) 08 Feb 2023 18:12:19
“It’ll be back to the 80’s fighting with Everton for players. ”
You mean when both teams were the best? What a stupid comparison.
I love that we haven’t got rid of FSG yet but already whoever comes in is already not going to be good enough as they aren’t the golden Middle East cash cow. Unbelievable.
7.) 08 Feb 2023 19:19:03
Boo f’ing hoo- not exactly Bolton is it - get over yourself!
8.) 08 Feb 2023 20:31:27
Let’s get our own house in order before we start having panic attacks before anyone else.
If you look back a couple of years you had City, United and Chelsea spending piles of money and for the past four or five years you had City and Liverpool evenly matched.
If you look forward two or three years you will have City, United, Chelsea and Newcastle spending piles of money - not a lot of change there really - with the only difference being that any massive amount of money Newcastle she’ll out will potentially dilute the quality of massively overpriced players that the other three sign on.
We built a team that was - for about a year - 18 months - the best team on the planet. We built it by ‘buying the right players at the right price’ (with one or two exceptions - noticeably Naby) .
The difference is we built a squad / team that worked well - the sum of the whole was greater than the sum of the parts - unlike Chelsea or United and even City. The vision to see what could be done and the skill to carry it out belonged to Jurgen Norbert Klopp, with the backing of his support staff and the owners of the club. If he still has the appetite we can do it again.
Have a bit of faith Redmen,
9.) 08 Feb 2023 20:12:19
But I want! But I want! But I want!
10.) 08 Feb 2023 21:35:53
Very well said WDW
Ffp if applied properly especially the new rules coming in should level the field even more . (again if their not exploited)
I have a feeling Wel be ok
We are Liverpool football club
Absolute powerhouse of football
We just need stability and the right people in the right positions in the club
The team needs support not more negativity.
11.) 08 Feb 2023 22:09:00
Jay Jay. Fsg did not take Mike Gordon away from running the club for a minority sale, as ed02 said they are looking to a full sale, despite what people want to believe.
12.) 08 Feb 2023 22:55:06
Some fans are happy Liverpool fc is righteous and not tainted by oil $, definitely worth sacrifice of to be out of all competitions and languishing in mid table.
13.) 09 Feb 2023 00:03:44
WSW. I didn't come here to read common sense posts from rational people. What do you think this is?
14.) 09 Feb 2023 08:25:39
Haha back to the 80's, we wish, before now that was our time, team of the decade in the 80's, watch a video or two pal.
15.) 09 Feb 2023 10:26:50
“I love that we haven’t got rid of FSG yet but already whoever comes in is already not going to be good enough“
I’m sure you’ll be saying that next season too, after another relatively barren summer, when we line up in August with the largely the same team and largely the same squad as this season, getting largely the same insipid results, only without champions league football.
FSG don’t have the money (or inclination) pto make the changes needed as their priority is getting their money back, not the success of the club, the two things not being mutually exclusive, as they’ve found with the Redsox.
Some very hard decisions need to be taken in the summer if we are to get back to the top, decisions that mean a lot of money would need to be spent. Gomez, Matip, Phillips, Williams, Henderson, Jones need to be sold. Milner, Ox, Keita released. Kelleher will probably want to leave for first team football. There’s a reasonable question as to whether VVD and Salah should both be sold given their ages. Thiago doesn’t have many more miles left in him and Bajcetic is the only centre midfielder we’ve got who is worth keeping. So that’s two good quality, robust centre halves, at least three top quality centre midfielders and a competent back up keeper, as a minimum. And that’s without factoring the possibility of selling Salah and/ or VVD as you’d then have to buy like for like replacements in quality.
I very much doubt that FSG’s £50m plus sales is going to get very far (any serious idea that there’s a £200m plus sales “warchest” when we’re very unlikely to have qualified for the champions league is somewhere between delusional and laughable) and I very much doubt that the likes of Bellingham will be considering coming to a team in such disarray and in such alarming decline, there looks to be no money to fix things and no plan to put it right.
It’s looking like mid table obscurity from this season onwards unless something drastically changes, which looks unlikely as things stand.
And yes, it’s entirely reasonable to write off the likes of Redbird, HBSE, Ricketts family and Stephen Pagliuca, as their overall track records of sports club ownership is poor at best (ask Milan fans about Redbird, they’ll soon tell you how much they’re hated) . The fact that Pagliuca, Ricketts and HBSE were binned off as not being remotely suitable for Chelsea should ring alarm bells that they’re not good enough for us.
Redbird increasing their stake in FSG would make no tangible benefit to us whatsoever. The last time they bought a stake in FSG, FSG went out and bought an NHL team. All that will happen is FSG will expand their portfolio into the NBA.
If mid table mediocrity is what you want, then you’re certainly going to enjoy watching us continue under FSG or fall under the ownership (or co ownership) of any of the interested parties listed above, as that’s all they can deliver because there isn’t a Coutinho for them to sell.
{Ed001's Note - how can RedBird's record at Milan be brought into this? How can Milan fans hate them when they only took them over in the summer? If you are going to try and make claims try not to make them nonsense please.}
16.) 09 Feb 2023 11:31:28
Jay Dub Red - but they don’t invest in the squad. Although not nearly enough to warrant where we should be.
17.) 10 Feb 2023 07:42:22
@Iggy, what’s your opinion on “where we should be” and why? I’m genuinely interested.
18.) 10 Feb 2023 08:44:10
so other clubs will be buying at the top table. Sounds like normal service resuming to be fair.
09 Nov 2022 22:21:18
If this buyout takes a long drawn out time. Will it impact on any signings this January window, or will it make no difference.
{Ed002's Note - Which signings are these? Mbappe, Bellinhgham, Rice and Felix - or others?}
1.) 10 Nov 2022 13:25:36
The others please Ed :)
2.) 11 Nov 2022 22:05:57
Anyone else noticed for the first time ever this season. because as elliot ness says above regarding buy out talks.
No poster has talked about tomorrows home game versus the Saints.
3.) 12 Nov 2022 09:13:26
After the forest and Leeds games, I'm nervous about todays game. Hate coming up against teams when it's a new managers first game in charge.

Anyone know, what exactly is Allison's injury. Club seems very quiet on it, just saying muscle injury. That could be anything.
1.) 01 Mar 2024 20:55:57
Hamstring reoccurrence but now more severe. Back after international break.
2.) 01 Mar 2024 21:44:11
I can’t believe the club doesn’t have cameras in the treatment room so supporters can get daily updates on the injured players.
3.) 01 Mar 2024 22:10:31
Ideally there would be two-way communication so that those who see themselves as best qualified could off advice on treatment.
18 Feb 2024 10:42:03
Considering our injury list, how lucky are we that the club didn't sell Kelleher and Gomez during the recent windows. Offers came in for both, and they both have been outstanding when called upon to play.
1.) 18 Feb 2024 11:22:07
Didn’t some also want to sell Jota to balance the books?
2.) 18 Feb 2024 11:30:40
The club didn’t want to sell - that’s not good luck. It’s good planning and knowing the value of all the players in the squad.
It was only a minority of people on social media who have no say in what the club does or thinks that suggested the club should sell valuable squad members.
3.) 18 Feb 2024 11:49:09
LOL yep JK23. Funny how the Jota haters have all disappeared.
4.) 18 Feb 2024 12:20:06
2 great lads who have never voiced there dissatisfaction at not playing more regular in public, always handled themselves v well.
I hope gomez starts in final next week, don't think he has ever started a final for us. deserves it.
5.) 18 Feb 2024 12:51:19
Kelleher is one of the best back up keepers in the league, great performance yesterday.
{Ed025's Note - one swallow doth not a summer make VV, he had a good game yesterday but has been really crap before that mate, hes not a bad back up but to over egg him would be a mistake imo..
6.) 18 Feb 2024 13:15:41
We're fans and supporters Ed. It's our job to over egg our players ? But I do have to admit though, that as far as back-up keepers go, it's hard to find one as good as him. The past few games could be him shaking of the rust as he comes to terms with the pace of the game again. He has not played regularly in over a year so that's understandable, I feel.
{Ed025's Note - before yesterday he looked like the new Karius to me Drac, but he did well yesterday mate so lets hope thats not just a flash in the pan..
7.) 18 Feb 2024 13:32:35
You’re being too harsh Ed. He’s a better back up than most of the clubs in the top six let alone the rest of the league and he’s a million miles better than Mignolet, Karius and Kelleher. He’s at least competent which is the minimum ask.
{Ed025's Note - im just stating facts VV, if he was considered that good someone would have come in for him by now mate, if you are that good you would be playing first team football on a regular basis even if thats for a lower team..
8.) 18 Feb 2024 13:40:39
To be fair Kelleher in general has been pretty good when called upon and not just this season. I’ve no idea how to equate that into Swallows tho but I’m certain it’s more than ??.
9.) 18 Feb 2024 14:24:38
In fairness only Pickford is a better back up keeper than Kelleher.
Yes I know Pickford isn’t a back up keeper but he should be ?.
{Ed025's Note - "Englands Englands number 1, Englands number 1"..
10.) 18 Feb 2024 14:46:42
I would tend to disagree with u ed25 on kelleher, I think he excellent keeper and I'm flabbergasted that no club has put up the reported £20m that lfc would sell at. I'd go as far as saying that he better or equal to 15/ 16 out of the 20 prem teams 1st choice goalkeeper. Alison, Emerson, spurs goalie, martinez about all I can think of better than him. He obviously would have to prove it over a season but as with any goalkeeper the more he would player the better he would get.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think we have seen enough of him to judge if im honest Digger, we have seen a few good bits as well as some abominations from him this season when called upon, personally what i have seen of him he would be a lower premier or high championship keeper, but thats just me guessing mate..
11.) 18 Feb 2024 14:58:06
That shows why England will never win a trophy…. Pickford Maguire and their clueless manager, Southgate. Shockingly bad.
Then add the ludicrously overhyped Rashford and you will have Bellingham wishing he was born in Madrid rather than the Midlands.
12.) 18 Feb 2024 14:58:42
Ed25, there are no swallows here, mate. kelleher is undefeated in all the PL games he has playde for LFC in relief of Allison and this, despite him not playing anywhere as regularly as your bro. Pickford who is not in the same stratosphere as Kellerher, IMO.
Kellerher is a very good GK who would start for a decent amount of PL teams out there cos even with the sporadic appearances he has had over the years, he has shown that he would be a very good option were he to play regularly which IMO, is the only thing he is missing to relly up his level as a GK, in my view. Not arsed about his game vs Fulham and I fully backed him cos well, he was out of rhythm coming in cold and since then, he has been very good for us cos well, he was playing moregularly than before. Funny that a GK or player plays better when they get more game time, eh?
And comparing him to Karius is just weak sauce banter cos at least Karius knows what a CL final (while Kellerher has a CL winner's medal) looks like. Let me know when Pickford gets anywhere near that. And hurry up before armagedon strikes cos I ain't got all day.
{Ed025's Note - he has never played in a world cup finals though Oli so your point is moot mate, no doubt he will be seen as "world class" by most of you but what i seen of him against the likes of Fulham he reminds me of Massimo Taibi.. :)
13.) 18 Feb 2024 17:24:59
Tommy Gunn your England bashing was going well until you had a pop at Bellingham, no when to quit mate and control your jealousy!
14.) 18 Feb 2024 17:43:12
Pickford. If ever a guy needed an R between the P and i letters of his surname.
15.) 18 Feb 2024 18:14:05
Massimo Taibi ??.
16.) 19 Feb 2024 02:17:08
I always thinks that when they are singing about Pickford it should be “England, England’s number 2, England’s number 2”.
17.) 18 Feb 2024 15:24:12
He seems to get better the longer he’s in the team. Just getting put in on the odd off chance creates disturbance.
18.) 18 Feb 2024 16:14:08
Ed25; my point is not moot, sprry. Everton and LFC play in the same league to qualify for the CL and play in the CL final cos that is where both playerswere playing at the time Karius helped LFC make the final and your boy still listens to the CL anthem on Spotify so it is your false comparison that is moot. Nobody cares about England and Germany are a shambles so it is your point that is moot. And nobody called Karius nor Kellerher world class either so you made that up on your own out of thin air.
In the end, that is not my point. My point is that Kellerher is undefeated in the PL and has shown on multiple occasions that he can be trusted to step in admirably for the most part when called upon. Pickford can't be relied upon to do a darn thing and the fact that you are comparing our no. 2 to your no. 1 shows the levels we are dealing with here.
Kellerher is so reliable that he won us an EFL Cup on pens you know, that thing your Pickford again, knows nothing about so rather than talking about Karius who doesn't play for us anymore (you brought him up, not me), let's compare Kellerher and Pickford who actually plays for you. And keep in mind that Kellerher is our no. 2 while Pickford is your no. 1.
{Ed025's Note - your point is exceptionally moot Oli, how the hell can you compare Pickford to Kelleher when Jordan has more chance of winning the Eurovision song contest than a European trophy mate?, its comparing apples to oranges, let me ask you a question, if Ali was to leave would you be happy for Liverpool to promote Caoimhin and look for a new No2, or would you want them to buy a top class new keeper?, i think we all know the answer to that one..
19.) 19 Feb 2024 08:29:20
Follow up question Ed25. Point taken about signing a new keeper if Ali left. My question is, do you seriously imagine Pickford being on the list of potential replacements?
{Ed025's Note - no WDW, i think hes a decent keeper but not what i would call top notch, great shot stopper and decent with his feet but not great in the air and does not command his box like he should..
20.) 19 Feb 2024 12:05:57
If Pickford was at a top 8 side, he would be on the bench inside 2 months, he is bang average, making easy saves look good for the camera doesn't make you a good keeper, he can kick a mile, that's his best trait, how he is in front of Pope i will never know, he is just lucky, like David James was, that the competition isn't viewed as strong enough or the manager just likes him, Kelleher looked like a guy who needed more games to come out and fel like a No.1, he will get games now and he looks better for it, Allisson is the best out there so no chance Kelleher stays at No.1.
28 Aug 2023 14:58:15
First 4 games of the season, and 3 of those on a Sunday. PL couldn't give a toss for the average fan. Transport on a Sunday is a lot harder than a Saturday afternoon.
1.) 28 Aug 2023 15:08:11
I’m an average fan and it works for me, I work on a Saturday.
2.) 28 Aug 2023 15:12:05
I think it’s the broadcasters that set the dates mate.
And with us being in the Europa we’ve got quite a few more Sunday games to go.
At least we haven’t had to play any early Saturdays as we know our players are unable to kick a ball until 1500.
3.) 28 Aug 2023 15:23:43
Mushroom. It might work for you, but if you ask most fans, they would rather 3pm on a Saturday. It mainly only works for those who watch on TV. We will have enough Sunday games going forward, due to Europa, so I don't think it is expecting too much for us to have some Saturday afternoon games.
4.) 28 Aug 2023 15:29:01
We are in for a 12.30 after the international break. Klopp will be ecstatic!
5.) 28 Aug 2023 15:34:07
Ahh lovely it works for Mushroom. It’s common knowledge that buses and trains run less frequently on a Sunday. The PL don’t care about the average we’ve all established that now.
6.) 28 Aug 2023 15:47:38
First world problems eh.
7.) 28 Aug 2023 16:38:09
Well, we can't say that we are not used to playing Sunday games when the EL starts.
8.) 28 Aug 2023 18:00:24
Elliot, you will probably find more people watch on TV than go to the games. That is in no way disrespecting anyone that goes. I wish I was in a situation where I could go.
Frode, plan ahead, another life lesson.
9.) 28 Aug 2023 19:16:51
Villa are playing on Thursday, aren't they?
10.) 28 Aug 2023 19:31:30
Seriously? How long has the PL been going and how many times now have Liverpool played on a Sunday? Get a grip.
03 May 2023 09:42:02
For the past few years, Klopp has been the media darling. He is in danger of losing that, with his recent antics. I wish he would go back to the cheeky chappie he used to be. I know with the position we are in, that the pressure has increased, but he needs to wind it in a bit.
1.) 03 May 2023 10:20:54
To be fair, you can never stay the media darling very long. The media has a tendency to build someone up, just so they can knock them back all the way down, using anything at their disposal, whether true or not. They do this with every day heroes too, praise them while searching through their history for any evidence that can discredit or change public opinion towards the individual in question.
Klopp's recent behaviour has not helped matters, however. He always toed a fine line between acceptable and unacceptable behavior, but this season is a different story. He strikes me as a man who, in the heat of the moment, enjoys confrontation. Then, when the moment has calmed, regrets his actions.
Klopp does need to better manage this as it can cause problems down the line. Referees are only human beings and they can make decisions on the pitch as a way to irritate Klopp, due to the things Klopp has said about them. I have personally done it as a referee, I must admit, and it is something difficult to ignore when a manager is screaming obscenities at you. You want to rile them up, have an excuse to report or send off the annoying coach.
Klopp will almost certainly receive a match ban, his second this season alone. That is not a good look. He knows he needs to improve, and that improvement can not come from a change in good fortune. Because, when things take a turn for the worst, he will revert to type rather than develop skills to combat his first instinct.
2.) 03 May 2023 10:33:38
In fairness i've seen Conte, Seven-hag, Pep and Arteta all carry on similar to Klopp this term. Mountain out of a molehill for me. Maybe if officials actually treated Mo as if he was one of their English internationals and actually gave him a freekick from time to time these things would be less frequent.
3.) 03 May 2023 10:35:09
Most of the media are vile anyway, so I'm not too concerned by that. Klopp has started to irritate me this season though, more so for his condescending comments towards the fans than his digging at referees.
4.) 03 May 2023 10:49:08
Think the standard of refereeing is appalling. The game against spurs summed it up. Penalties not given fouls not given free kicks given incorrectly VAR total waste of time and it goes on and on. All teams are suffering no wonder manages react in the heat of the moment after games with microphones shoved in their faces
Up the pool and Klopp.
5.) 03 May 2023 11:04:21
Klopp and Liverpool get clicks. He's taken the yellow card and said his celebration was wrong. End of story.
Tierney and his boss, Webb, on the other hand need to take a long look at his consistently terrible performances as an official.
And lastly, we should be drawing more attention to the way Salah is treated. It was only a couple of weeks ago we Mo get a yellow card for kicking the ball away as Nathan Ake wrestling was ignored. We have normalised the poor treatment of Mo.
6.) 03 May 2023 11:04:56
Thomas194 - 100%. His condescending comments towards our own fans have further blighted what has been an appalling season. Compared to 2020/ 21, where though the season was tough at no point were we not one as a club, this season has been different.
Klopp has gone from an undisputed uniter of people to one that gaslights consistently.
7.) 03 May 2023 11:08:11
OP, multiple things are correct at the same time. Klopp does things that he shouldn't do and should get pulled up on it. At the same time IMO, Klopp was a media darling at the beginning cos he was not ruffling any feathers cos well, LFC were not winning anything. They called him the happy little hugger of players who loses finals hence, a happy loser. "Oh, there's a lovely passionate guy who hugs his players and loves them" who won nothing. Essentially, Klopp was not a threat.
It was all fun and games until. Klopp broke his duck and won Ole Big Ears, started challenging City, started winning big things and speaking his mind on issues that nobody in English football ever talked about and if you did, you got shouted down. Issues like player safety, 5 subs, scheduling for CL teams playing in midweek, a winter break, the list goes on and on. The knives were out for him since then, IMO.
Don't you think Klopp gets all this media coverage and vile stuff written about him for doing the very same things for the most part that other managers do? Pep was celebrating goals and rubbing it in the faces of the LFC subs. That could have turned into a full-on brawl but not a word was written and Klopp didn't even do that. Had Klopp did that? They would be calling him to be banned for nearly starting a brawl. You got to look at things globally, is all Im saying.
8.) 03 May 2023 12:13:31
I think that everyone is to blame in this instance.
All the managers, including Klopp, are big crybabies who think they can do whatever they want on the touchline. The players are the same, they always give the referees abuse even after a decision has been made, sometimes even after the game has finished.
Coaches and players should be in control of their own feelings with regards to giving referees abuse during games. However, I think the current rules regarding ‘bringing the game into disrepute’ in interviews are an absolute joke.
When it comes to refereeing, I cannot think of any profession where mediocrity is so well rewarded, and incompetence is so wilfully left unchallenged.
It is nothing more than an Old Boys club. They all protect each other and mark their own homework. They often appear to have bigger ego’s than the prima donna playboy footballers. There appears to be no impetus to improve standards or tweak rules to make the job easier. All of these issues have become exponentially more problematic since the introduction of VAR.
You only have to look at the track record of someone like Jon Moss, now retired, to realise how insane the refereeing cartel actually is. Moss now runs a record store in Leeds that i frequent quite often, a very cool establishment I must say.
He should have gone into that line of work earlier, because he was never cut out to be a referee. He must have averaged one or two clangers a game, and without being rude, was clearly not up to the physical requirements to be a Premier League Referee.
In any other profession, making two colossal cock ups per day, all while not looking after yourself enough to do the job - whether that’s drinking, lack of sleep, whatever - you would rightfully be sacked pretty swiftly. Yet in the case of Jon Moss, he was allowed to keep this up for over a decade, without any accountability or disciplining.
I have absolutely no idea what the appropriate channels are for formal complaints, but if such a thing exists, it doesn’t seem to work. I have absolutely no issue (morally, at least) with a manager calling out a referee in a post match interview. I’m not sure how else they are supposed to draw attention to the issue, or why this is banned practice.
The protection of the referees is akin to the bureaucracy of an authoritarian state. It never gets any better, and any attempt to speak out against it is met with swift punishment. In the eyes of the PGMOL or whatever the relevant body is, they can do no wrong, and the managers should simply put up with their careers being put in the hands of a referees competency and/ or ego.
We all understand the fine margins in football, and one bad decision can completely change the trajectory of a coach or players career. Yet, to the referee, such a decision is another brick in the wall, with no incentive to do better next time.
Like I say, I think abusing another person during a match, screaming in their face etc, is unacceptable from both players and managers. However, I have absolutely no issue with a manager speaking their mind after the game. The referees should be able to take a bit of criticism.

Tierney is a crap ref and it's good that Klopp had the balls to say something. He's so anti Liverpool it's obvious. Its not the first time he's had a stinker when reffing us or Everton for that matter. Its made even worse when you have to listen to taylor (is it? ) and bloody captain anti Liverpool himself Gary neville. Not even a booking when diaz nearly had his ankle snapped in half, but all the plaudits and media can talk about is how high the foot was from one of our smallest players on the pitch. The bias shown against Merseyside clubs is staggering and i'm glad someone said something. Yes, klopp should not of gone hopping over like a goading child (which was hilarious btw), but imagine the frustration seeing Salah getting hacked pulled and pushed all match and nothing ever comes of it. I'd be showing some frustration too.

Klopp should just keep doing Klopp. He’s fully invested in games when we play and celebrates when we score and calls out poor refereeing when it happens. He’s a manager, a fan and vicariously a player.
The officials were abysmal against Spuds and he called them out on it.
The problem is that firstly, refereeing and VAR is inconsistent at best and occasionally completely illogical.
Secondly, the officials are beyond criticism. Managers, coaches and players are not allowed to say negative comments about refs after a match without copping a fine.
Essentially, a team has to suck up poor officiating without any complaint. When you lose games solely due to the likes of Tierneys incompetence it’s no wonder players and manager’s occasionally vent their frustration on the pitch.

Everyone likes you when you are not a threat which is why everyone likes Spurs hence, they are media darlings even tho, they have won as much as I have for almost 2 decades now. Just wait till they get a manager would not be bothered to confirm to the English football way and keep his head down while getting screwed over multiple times and starts winning things and speaking his mind, the media will turn on him and them just like they did with us and Klopp.
And one last thing. If there were any questions as to whether Klopp had the stomach or the desire to go again with this LFC team then, Sunday was your answer. The guy is ready for a fight and like Muhammad Ali said when he walked into the gym, "Im knocking out all bums".

The irony is that Klopp used this match to give off about Tierney, a game where he could have quite easily sent off Jota.

What are you on about with saying Klopp has been condescending to the fans?

Looks like we will miss out on Nunes, as Chelsea are prepared to sign him this transfer window.

Chelsea can sign him this window but he can't play for them until next season.
2.) 26 Jan 2023 14:07:17
I'm not surprised with how many people on this site don't know he can't play for another team this season as we're not football journalists. However, the number of articles that keep intimating we're signing Nunes this window is a) intensely annoying and b) fuelling the misinformation to a lot of fans.

Todd has been on the white lines again.

Didn't one of the Ed's mention this, only last week. Short memories some people.

It's odd how some get their kicks if its not the real one. I think the real Akira has been pretty solid to date. At least I enjoy his posts.

I for one wanted City to win. The more hard games they have before the end of the season ends, the better for our hopes of winning the PL.

Robbo, how reliable is the news you have been given, considering FSG has said the opposite.

Beckers pecker'Nunez was a doubt for the game right up to the last minute, so obviously hadn't trained since Wednesday. If things were going better, I doubt Klopp would have even brought him off the bench. The last thing we needed, was him agrivating his foot injury.

My choice if Klopp was to leave would be Alonso.

I don't see the difference between Ederson's foul, and VVD's. Both stopping a goalscoring opportunity.
